Abstract

This paper discusses the development of Information Presentation Systems (IPS). It identifies that these systems have had two development paths; generic and application-specific. It discusses the main pieces of early work, and identifies the significant problems and shortcomings associated with them. The development of later systems is traced through to the present day, and outstanding research issues are identified.
